Privatisation of British Rail

The privatisation of British Rail was the result of the Railways Act 1993 introduced by John Major's Conservative government. The operations of the British Railways Board (BRB) were broken up and sold off. Some "non-core" parts of the BRB's operations had already been disposed of, by the administration of Margaret Thatcher, as early as the first years of the 1980s.
